    Lol! I hate liberalism, but I respect Kucinich! At least he's consistent and not afraid to admit what he believes in. The rest of the dems will no doubt ignore him and point to Bush claiming he should be impeacged first... Hypocrites! !!

      While Kucinich is right about the Fed and I like him, Europe wanted this action against Gaddafi.

      America is just one of many and Obama didn't want to do this until the Arab League wanted it.

      Obama doesn't want to be on the wrong side of revolution. We supported the Shah of Iran and look where that took us?

      How many Irans do you want Lady?

      Are you capable of thinking these things out?

      I wonder.

      The war in Iraq was an illegal oil war. I don't think we are out to steal Libyan oil. Big difference.

        Obama declared war against a foreign country  - he SHOULD be thrown in Jail, not impeached.

        Bush did the same thing, so did Clinton.

        So did... how many other presidents?

        Read the constitution. Nuff said.

          There is a difference. This action is to protect the people who were going to be slaughtered. The other was simply to steal oil. Big difference.

              I already told you, if you would take the time to read my hub on Bush, that long term reserves is what they wanted.

              Condi Rice, as I keep telling you, was a director of Chevron Oil. The CEO of Chevron in 1998 stated he wanted Iraq oil reserves. Condi Rice was not George Bush's main advisor for nothing.

              They even renamed the tanker that was once named after Rice, so that it wouldn't be too obvious what they were doing.

            If we cared that much, then let the part of the government that was designed to declare war actually do so instead of just one wing-nut jerk-wad who thinks he's the new Julius Caesar.

            "The Congress shall have Power...To declare War".

              Congress has the power to declare war, which is why Obama will hand this off to the UN, in a few days. One could say that the air blockade is not war, but rather is a police action to prevent many innocent people from being killed.

                One could say it, but believing it would be a self-admission of empty-headedness or just blindly misguided.

                This was clearly an Act of War.

                Since there was no eminent threat to the US only Congress can sanction these type of Military action.

                    Gee I’m not sure those examples are quite the same.

                    As I recall did Reagan not react to appeals of assistance made by The Organization of Eastern Caribbean States as well as Jamaica and Barbados in response to a communistic military coup in Granada and Communist expansion in The Caribbean? Wasn’t this coup considered organized and facilitated by Fidel Castro. Wasn’t the Cuban Military involved as well as were military advisors from Soviet Union, East Germany, Bulgaria and Libya? Didn’t this action reestablish a free Parliamentarian Government that is still in effect today? Did Reagan not also  rescue American Students being held by “rebels” in a medical school?
                     

                    Wasn’t the Mission of the Panama Invasion ordered by Bush to capture Noriaga, cut off the flow of illegal drugs into the US and depose a dictator that disregarded Panamanian elections after he lost? Didn’t Noriega threaten to break the Torrios-Carter treaties denying the use of the Panama Canal? Didn’t Bush finally make the decision to go in only after American Servicemen were murdered and brutalized and 35,000 other Americans in Panama were at risk? Did the events leading up to the Invasion take place while Congress was out of session? Didn’t the Congress reconvene in January and condone the action? 

                    Oddly by comparison I don’t recall the use of massive airpower in either of these invasions or the destruction of the command and control structure. Nor were these attacks on a sovereign nation where no American lives or interests were at risk. Nor could these actions ultimately be detrimental to an entire region and our interests as this one more than likely will be.

            Let's not forget President Kennedy and the '' Bay of Pigs'', when Castro slaughtered the rebels attacking Cuba. Kennedy promised US air power cover to the rebels. Air power never showed up.
            Obama seems to believe that he is the ruler of the world, advocates revolution and directs removal of dictators.
            The US  has no business interfering in Libya!

      Dang! I coulda told him Obama needed impeached long before now!  And coulda even told him Obama should've never been given the White House.
      Do you think he really is sincere, or maybe just trying to score points himself with the opposition?

      Kinda like McCain and some Republicans may be doing right now as they agree with Obama's involvement in Libya.


      Somehow, with all the blurring of Party lines that I see going on these days, I keep hearing the part of a refrain of a song goin' through my head...."they're all wasted"!  haha
      Indeed, I'm not sure any of them know what the laws even are, nor what is right and wrong anymore.    That can be chalked up to liberalism running rough-shod over us all.

      Kucinich is consistent.  There are questions whether Shiny had the authority to join the others in the UN regarding the no go airspace effort against a country who has not attacked or threatened us.  Again, Shiny's action raises concerns.  It never occurred to him to even discuss this with Congress.  As long as the UN gave it a green light that was enough for him.  He really has no respect for our government.

      It would be quite funny if it except that this showcases the paralysis in Washington, as far as the pols. cooperating and fixing what's wrong. As long as partisan sniping is the priority there will be little progress made on addressing the economy, the debt, mid east disengagement, the nuclear power issue, etc, etc.

      The office holders in Washington and in individual States were elected to solve problems but they insist on waiting for their side to win on every point, then they say they will act. The result is a lot of blame, refusal to compromise and no action.

      Don't listen to the excuses. Don't listen to the blame placing. Vote 'em out.

        Not until the American voter ignores the Political Action Committees, Agenda driven connivances, turns away from the ignorance of apathy and entitlement, learns and understands the intent of our Constitution defining our Republic and then forces it to be adhered too by striping the federal government of is assumed power and returning it to the states will the joke on us be over.

      That subject is worthy of it's own thread. I think all the independents wishing for a third party have learned the hard way that wont be the way to fix what's wrong with government. Instead we have to change the platform of the current party and that is what's happening with the rise of the Tea Party. Institutional republicans will be replaced with freshman Tea Party candidates reflecting the views of most Americans. The democrats.are finished! They gave been co- opted by socialists and this us clearly evident to most of us.

        I'd say the referenced poll shows that BOTH parties are losing their robotic followers and people no longer like having to hold their nose and vote for the less-worse candidate.

          Since when is it the responsibility of the US to save people in other countries from death persecution or injustice? Where is that in the constitution? We have no business being there but if the rest of the world wants us to take out Kadaffy then we should be compensated for it! Maybe well do it for their oil? Why not? Why should we use ours and pollute our environment when we can do it elsewhere! Maybe we should just kill them all and take their oil? Why not? That would serve our interest right? After all we do have the power so who could stop us? Yes I think that's a good idea! Let's mobilize evil destructive exploitive America and just take what we want!

      Indeed.

      Even another Democrat on Fox News said the call for impeachment was "ridiculous" or "ludicrous", whatever.   And the most famous Republicans are apparently too politically-correct to take the ball and run with it and finally oust the Usurper.
      They're all playing games with the American people's lives and livelihood.   I think I'm becoming very disgusted with politicians in general.   But we must have government.  So, the only recourse seems to be to kick out the libs from both Parties in the next Election.......
      and I would probably actually say the Tea Party is good, except for the fact that it's not really supposed to be a Party at all, yet is leaning that way.......there's already a "Tea Party Caucus" in Congress, and what the heck will they do?   Will they really represent the thousands of people who picketed and spent their hard-earned money on fighting for conservatism?
      So, maybe it will take another "tea party" to keep the "Tea Party" from becoming just another heavy-handed, power-grabbing political Party....

    Kucinich says we need to put the Constitution over political parties.
    Well, when he offered 38 articles of Impeachment against Bushco, the House and Senate were Republican controlled.
    Where were the hearings?
    Did they put the Constitution first?

    No, they did not.
    If they agree to hearings now, it will only be because Obama is a Democrat, nothing at all to do with the Constitution.

    And, since America voted Bush back in, AFTER he already hacked the constitution,I would say THEY don't care about the Constitution either!

    Only when it suits their political/religious agenda.

      No, it's okay, LMC, you repeatedly demonstrate that you are beyond rational thought or conversation.

      But by all means keep looking for those nasty conservative boogeymen around every corner....you certainly make for amusing reading when the workday gets boring.....

        Now your turn:
        Why did Cheney order NORAD to stand down that morning?
        Manetta testified to it.

          The Vice President does not have control over military matters.  Sorry about that....

    If only this were true, we might get some good results in Washington.

      9/11 was what it was.  If this is true, it was a bad decision, but hardly indicative that it was an inside job.

      On Dec 7, 1941, a radar operator spotted the Japanese planes coming toward Pearl Harbor.  His superior blew it off and as a result no defenses were launched.

      By your "logic" Pearl harbor was an inside job.

      I just don't buy into nutjob conspiracy theories, sorry about that.....

        Bad decision?
        I say treason.

        And yes,people also think Pearl harbor was an inside job.

        Things don't "just happen".

        And I'm glad to hear you don't think Obama is a muslim terrorist, born in Kenya, sent here to destroy America for the Muslim Brotherhood.
        Maybe you should nudge your pals about their nutjob conspiracies.

          Actually, you're exactly right, I don't believe any of that.  It doesn't matter if the conspiracy theory is right or left, they're usually just as whacked.....

            Actually, there are numerous books and millions of web-sites dedicated to the truth that 9/11 was an inside job.
            You just choose not to allow it in.

            Which is fine. Life is ONLY what we put our attention on, nothing more.

              You're right, it must be true if it's ON THE INTERNET!

              You're right, I don't allow nutjob conspiracies in my life....sorry about that.

    No loss to me....there's a bigger force involved. NOTHING gets over-looked. Nothing.

    All I can say is, for those of you hating on Obama, just remember those people waving things out of windows of the Twin Towers as they burned.
    Watch them jumping off.
    Imagine thinking your own gvt did it....with a little help from some friends.
    Then come tell me your hatred of Obama.

    End of transmission. I now have to go cry.
    I will never forget those people, nor the after-math.

      Yes, it is sad.  Tragic.  We all cried that day and many times since.

      But your blame for that horror is grotesquely misplaced......

          Yeah, heaven forbid I blame the Muslim terrorists who actually flew the planes into the towers.

          Silly me.....

            Yes, it is silly of you.....
            Specially since they trained here, in Fla, actually....when Jeb was gvr!
            Learning how to fly planes, but not land them, huh? Nothing odd about that.

            And, if they were such enemies, what were they doing partying on Abramoff's yacht?

              Um, you forget, they all had visa's so it was not considered suspicious for them to be here.

              Granted,, their behavior should have aroused suspicion, but as has been stated time and again, we were asleep at the wheel on 9/11.

              Sorry, LMC, but you don't have a tin foil hat in my size.....I just don't get into crackpot conspiracy theories, for a number of reasons that should be obvious to most rational people.....
